171 Europa League wins again
Vardy was very disappointed. He immediately thought that he might not have proven himself and it would be difficult to gain Wen Sheng's trust.
Not a trace of his expression escaped Wen Sheng's eyes.
"What are you missing?!" Wen Sheng chuckled, "I still trust you, yes, I still trust you! I still believe you will be a top shooter in the future! But Jamie, have you ever considered it?
Our team?!"
Vardy's eyes were full of confusion.
"You have to consider our team! You have to consider my situation as the head coach! After six rounds of the league, you have zero goals and zero assists! Of course I know your importance to the team's tactics, but
Have you ever considered what your teammates think?! They may think that I am nepotistic. You are the player I promoted, so you can still play in the starting lineup even if you are in poor condition! This is not fair to them, this world
There is no absolute fairness in life!”
"But as a head coach, if I want to unite the team, I must pursue fairness! Without a relatively fair environment, our team will have a big mess sooner or later! So I will not let you start the next game, I have to give it to others.
Chance!"
"Can you understand what I say?!"
Wen Sheng simply expressed his confidence, and Vardy nodded.
"Just understand! Now let me talk to you about the areas you need to improve!" Wen Sheng pulled out a blank piece of paper, "Do you know what your strengths are?! You have fighting spirit, speed, and outstanding running ability.
Your running position is also very good, and you are very decisive when shooting, rarely hesitating, this is your advantage!"
"With defensive counterattack tactics, your performance last season was perfect! But it's different now. This is the Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world. The defense you face now is the same as last season.
The Championship is different! You need to make some changes!"
"I have studied our game videos and found a problem. You always like to move laterally in the penalty area! But it is difficult to get good opportunities. Do you know why?!"
"Because the opponent you face has a strong defensive level, you face greater challenges! Because we are a single forward setup, you can easily be double-teamed by two central defenders! You are very strong and have enough strength, but you
It’s easy to suffer losses in confrontations. With the tight defensive space in the penalty area, it’s very difficult for you to catch the ball! Don’t you think you’ve lost too much of the ball in the penalty area?!”
Vardy thought carefully about what Wen Sheng said, and it seemed like this was true.
"So now we are constantly revising and adjusting our tactics, hoping to use your power! Your mobility is your advantage. You should try to get out of the penalty area and hold the ball!" Wen Sheng took a pen and described to Vardy in detail how he ran against him.
bit idea.
The two talked for a long time, and Vardy really got involved and kept asking questions. Wen Sheng answered them in detail and explained the reasons.
He doesn't like to tell Vardy directly what you should do, but will tell Vardy what you should do and why.
There is only one reason for such a patient explanation. He hopes that Vardy can learn to interpret the team, learn how to analyze problems, and how to adapt better. Otherwise, if you don’t have a brain to play football, it will all depend on the coach’s baton, and it will be destined to be nothing big.
Achievements, Wen Sheng hopes that the Vardy he personally brings out will be even better than the Vardy in his previous life.
….
The next day, Crystal Palace held a pre-match press conference against Utrecht. The focus of this conference was not on Utrecht, but on the rumors about the quarrel between Wen Sheng and Delhi. Such rumors had already been fermented in the media yesterday.
, many media swore that according to insiders, Crystal Palace coach Daniel Moon and captain Sean Derry had a fierce quarrel.
"I have never had an argument with Sean!" Wen Sheng was well prepared for this. There were no reports in the media that the focus of the dispute between Delhi and himself was Vardy, which shows that some insiders are somewhat measured.
When attending the press conference, Wen Sheng brought Sean Derry with him for the purpose of clarification.
"This kind of rumor is really ridiculous! I don't know where this kind of rumor comes from. You should at least have a lower limit when making up stories!" Deli protested sternly and indignantly.
The two parties involved spoke the same words and cooperated tacitly, so there was really no suspicion of quarreling.
To put it bluntly, this topic is whether you believe it or not. What can you do if you don’t believe it?
The media will make up stories again, as long as the person involved says there is no such thing and keeps things under control.
At the end of the press conference, Wen Sheng said to Deli: "Damn it, I have to find out who the mole is this time!"
Wen Sheng immediately called Parrish. Parrish actually did not pay attention to the outside media reports, but Wen Sheng made the seriousness of the incident much more serious.
"Today, the two or three disputes between Sean and I can be sold for a good price! Will my tactics be sold to some people next time?! Are there no secrets within our team?! Employees signed
Is the confidentiality agreement a piece of paper?!"
Parrish immediately broke into a cold sweat, knowing that Wen Sheng was not an alarmist. In a sense, the club must be rigorous if it wants to succeed. It is definitely not a good thing to have this kind of internal information flying all over the sky.
So the vigorous campaign to catch moles began. Wen Sheng did not participate in the arrest personally. He just wanted to give a warning to all the employees of the club. The mouth is on you. It’s okay to say what you want, but some things are internal affairs.
, cannot be spread outside!
Working in a club is actually a pretty good job. How much is buying a piece of news worth?! It’s definitely not as valuable as a long-term, stable meal ticket.
According to the established arrangement, when playing against Utrecht, Vardy actually sat on the bench. Wen Sheng did not appear on the coaching bench. He injured his foot and couldn't stand on the sidelines wearing slippers to direct the game. So
The on-site conductor of this game was actually Webster. Webster also has a pro-level coaching certificate, but others do not have this qualification.
Wen Sheng also made some adjustments to the starting lineup. Hills was replaced in the defense by Mark Johnson, and the center back combination was replaced by Morgan and Benatia. This is their third game together. In the midfield,
Derry was injured while participating in team training just after the press conference and would be sidelined for about two weeks. Wen Sheng used Matic in this game.
The forward partners Zaha, Mertens and Alan Lee, De Bruyne take turns to rest. On the evening of October 3rd, Crystal Palace will face the powerful rival Liverpool. Wen Sheng attaches more importance to this game. De Bruyne plays continuously.
, he should be allowed to rest.
Wen Sheng bluntly told De Bruyne that he needed De Bruyne to show his best form against Liverpool, so the Europa League took a break.
Although De Bruyne was somewhat reluctant, he could not change Wen Sheng's decision.
Utrecht drew with Italy's Naples in the away game. The defensive state of this team in the away game is indeed eye-catching, but Wen Sheng is not afraid of his opponents.
First of all, Wen Sheng does not attach importance to the Europa League. Training and tactics are still important. Secondly, Utrecht may not hold on at home because they only got one point in the first round. They must work hard to get three points at home.
How can we qualify with just a draw?
The football match is a place where the head coaches of both sides battle their wits and courage, and it is also a place where the players battle their wits and courage. The head coach must make a comprehensive assessment of the opponent's tactics, game goals, fighting spirit, injuries, etc.
Although it was for military training purposes, Wen Sheng did not relax in gathering intelligence. In fact, his guess was correct.
Except for the situation where Utrecht was a little conservative at the beginning and wanted to touch Crystal Palace, they were very open at other times. Crystal Palace was also very open. Utrecht was weaker than Crystal Palace and their ability to seize opportunities was not strong.
Mertens was as excited to see his old club as he scored twice in the first half, with Zaha and Alan Lee providing assists for him.
In the second half, the Crystal Palace players committed another common mistake of young teams and were a little careless. The defensive end Benatia gave the opponent a penalty kick, and Utrecht directly passed a free kick in the subsequent climax of the offensive.
Scored and tenaciously tied the score.
Wensheng remotely directed the team to make substitutions one after another. Ryan Smith, De Bruyne and Stroman appeared one after another. In the 83rd minute, Zaha received Stroman's through ball and successfully countered the offside.
Scored a goal that sealed the victory!
Overall, Wen Sheng is satisfied with the training. Everyone is gradually adapting to the team's offensive tendencies. The defense combination of Benatia and Morgan actually performed quite well. The penalty for the first goal was a bit far-fetched.
Benatia's physical contact with the opponent in the penalty area was reasonable in Wen Sheng's view.
Chapter completed!
